COMPANY NEWS; SHARES OF SFX FALL 19% ON CONCERN ABOUT TICKET SALES

Shares of SFX Entertainment, the largest producer of live music, theater and sporting events, fell 19 percent yesterday amid concern about canceled promotions and slower ticket sales at New Year's events. The stock of SFX dropped $6.4375, to $27.50. An analyst at Goldman, Sachs & Company, Richard Greenfield, cut his cash-flow estimates for SFX this year by $5 million, to $245 million, because of slower ticket sales related to fear about Year 2000 computer problems. The company's SFX Sports Group includes the sports-marketing company Integrated Sports International, which manages a number of prominent professional athletes.
